The Gel-Nimubs 27 is here. It’s Asics’ flagship shoe–the one the brand was founded on, and beloved by runners everywhere. Much like the Nimbus 25, the 27 has received some major tweaks. It has an updated upper and increased cushioning in the midsole–but do not worry, there is still Gel in there, too.

The much-anticipated Noveblast 5 has arrived–and with some super exciting tweaks. First introduced in 2019, the shoe has become a staple trainer for many Asics wearers (myself included). It’s the perfect easy-day shoe, with a lovely bounce that’ll make your stride feel smooth, even on days when the legs are a bit tired.

Halloween is unofficially the international day of treats. As cyclists, we’re trying to keep inflammation at bay, and a huge influx of sugar can interfere with that. While adults typically won’t go trick or treating personally, it’s easy to find yourself sneaking a treat from your kid’s inventory or buying some on sale on November 1 for personal consumption.

The GT-2000 is one of Asics’ most loved shoes. It’s a stalwart in their stability category, and for good reason. The 12th iteration of the GT got a big makeover, and it was so well received that the brand made some small tweaks for the 13, but kept all of the additions that runners loved so much in the previous iteration.

The Glideride Max, a new member of the Asics family, is quickly becoming one of my favourite trainers. It’s plush, yet bouncy, and also comes at a more affordable price point than some of its competitors. It’s the ideal easy-day shoe, or “desert island” shoe for the person who just wants one pair to do it all.

Since it was launched last year, many triathletes and runners have been raving about the Asics Superblast (including us – we loved the shoe we dubbed the first of the “Super Trainers.”). It feels very much like a training version of the speedy Metaspeed shoes that have become a racing-day mainstay for many of the sport’s top pros.

The much-anticipated Superblast 2 has arrived. In my circle, everyone who’s gotten to try this shoe has fallen in love–myself included. It’s one of the most versatile trainers I’ve ever worn. It’s extremely well-cushioned, but light and quick underfoot. This shoe has a place in any neutral runner’s rotation. Category: NeutralDrop: 8 mmWeight: 249 g (8.8 oz.)MSRP: CAD $260Available: NowUpperThe Superblast’s upper has seen some big changes from the first model to the second.
